Fort Abraham Lincoln, located near Mandan, North Dakota, is a historically significant site that played a key role during the late 19th century. Originally established in 1872 as a military post to protect the Northern Pacific Railroad workers from the local Native American tribes, it later became the home of the 7th Cavalry Regiment commanded by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer. The fort is most famously associated with Custer's departure for the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. Today, Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park offers visitors a chance to explore reconstructed military buildings, including Custer's house, as well as the On-A-Slant Indian Village, which features reconstructed earthlodges of the Mandan tribe.
